What happens after GTA 6?
It feels like western blockbuster games development is dying. Amid endless rounds of ruthless layoffs and studio closures, a component shortage crisis driving up hardware prices for both PC and console users, and the industry’s often-disastrous pivot to live service, it’s hard imagine a healthy future for the kinds of lavish, seasonal tentpole releases that…

Kingdom Come: Deliverance star is opening a real ‘medieval-inspired bar’ in Prague
Luke Dale, best known to gamers as Hans Capon in the Kingdom Come: Deliverance games, is trying his hand at something new: Serving food and drinks at a medieval tavern in Prague, the capital city of the Czech Republic. This is not a role in an upcoming videogame. As he reveals in a new video…
The guy in charge of EA Sports is now in charge of EA everything
With Electronic Arts now officially owned by Saudi Arabia, CEO Andrew Wilson has made some changes at the top, appointing former EA Sports president Cam Weber as president and chief studios officer, and former “chief experiences officer” David Tinson—basically the top marketing and communications role—as president and chief operating officer. The announcement of the promotions…
Path of Exile devs are planning ‘an extreme shakeup’ in the next major update to address concerns over its stale endgame and lack of exciting loot drops
I’m not that into the original Path of Exile, but playing so much of the sequel has exposed me to plenty of people who do. A huge topic of discussion around the current league is about loot and the lack of it. Many players are unhappy with the majority of the loot coming from chests…
Destiny 2 players are learning how to crack into its infamous content vault by tinkering with old game builds
In June 2020, Bungie made what would come to be remembered as one of the most reviled PR incidents in modern videogames: It announced the content vault. To make Destiny 2’s long-term development more manageable, the studio said, the launch of its Beyond Light expansion coincided with a culling of in-game content, paring away story…

Have you heard the good word? Sorry, good words. Two of them, to be precise: Ace Combat. I know I’m not the only recent convert to this long-running series; after the announcement of Ace Combat 8 last December, I saw a wave of chatter across social media reiterating that what the uninformed might expect to…
Fields of Mistria officially becomes the best farm sim since Stardew Valley with its 1.0 update today
Farm simmers already know what day it is: It’s Fields of Mistria 1.0 day. The magical girl-inspired, ’90s anime flashback farm sim has been in early access for two years (to the day) and has just launched its full release version with the conclusion of its main story and, way more importantly, matrimony.

A review of Dragon Age II from Boss Fight Books
By Charlotte Reber’s own admission, Dragon Age II is a somewhat counterintuitive choice for a Boss Fight book. After all, Dragon Age: Origins is the main famous, well-regarded game of the series, a fantasy epic role-playing game in the Bioware house style that takes place in an original fantasy setting. Reber’s book, while mostly…
